Hey, Stock,

About closing Palisades -- I'll try to make this simple. I am asking constituents in the towns surrounding Palisades to submit a letter to their city councils or commissions asking that they pass a resolution requesting (demanding?) that Palisades be closed. We did this in Chicago about the Ontario Power Generation L.Huron dump. Mayor Emanuel introduced it himself and it passed. Whether OPG will dump the dump is another question.

My idea was to start the letter going (I wrote it and passed it through Arnie Gunderson); then Bruce Brown of SWMchigan Sierra Club said he would help get it to people he knows in the towns around Palisades. In the letter I focused on an internal accident that could cause the brittle reactor vessel to crack or shatter. Arnie said an earthquake would not be the problem.

Then I used the Chicago Council resolution as a template for a "fantasy" resolution to give compatible councils something to go on to write their resolutions. Entergy is the corp that runs Palisades. Yankee Rowe in MA was closed when it was younger than Palisades because it faced Palisades's embrittlement problems when they were not as bad.

I'm encouraged by your statement from at least two years ago that Palisades has to be closed. You hear this from everyone in the know.

I know that the problems at Palisades are greater than “just” embrittlement, but that is the main focus of why it must be closed.

I'd love to hear from you and any of your fans that want to help with this project. janunaj@hotmail.com. Jan Boudart, Rogers Park, Chicago.
